PROTOS SECURITY
Are Security Guards Disrupting
Your Holiday Season?
Protos Security Can Handle the Holiday Rush!
T
he holiday season is a wonderful time of year
for many, but for loss prevention officials,
there is no rest. No other time of the year is
more professionally critical than the period between
November 1 and December 31 each year. According
to the National Retail Federation, the all-important,
two-month holiday shopping season can represent as
much as 30 percent of annual sales.
As seasonal shopping increases, thefts of every kind
are on the rise. However, a variety of new industry tools
are helping LP officers take back the holiday season
and spend more time with their families. With more
sophisticated industry partners and vastly expanded
technical capabilities, companies like Protos Security are
showcasing the real value of their innovations to the
entire LP industry.
"Our central AP team works hard every
year to source quality guard coverage for the
Thanksgiving and Black Friday holiday rush.
In years prior, this process was extremely labor
intensive and involved sourcing and contracting
with multiple companies, only to be left without
coverage when those companies were unable
to fulfill our request or sent unprofessional,
untrained guards," one national LP operations
director said.
Protos continues to offer dispatch support
twenty-four hours per day, 365 days per year. Their
always-on, call-center teams take pride in standing
ready to process emergency calls, fill last-minute
security needs, and provide incident reporting
around the clock.
